Sounds like a good plan.

There is much to be said for a lathe that is semi-portable, not so heavy/large.

I would not mind having a small lathe in my house, although I am not sure what the wife would say about that.

I have seen model engine builders with lathes inside their house, and I think with perhaps a chip shield, and a shop vac, it would work ok.

Good luck.

Post some photos when you get it set up.

I hope it all goes well! Moving all my Sherline and Taig sized stuff sure was a lot easier and less nerve wracking than moving my full sized woodworking, SB and large mill/drill machines.

We're at what we hope will be the rest of our lives place now, but who knows? We're starting the aggressive get rid of stuff we don't need, want, or doesn't make us happy process. My mother kept EVERYTHING, cleaning out her house was a nightmare. We don't want to do that to our kids

I hope to have a good collection of stuff for the Cabin Fever consignment area this year, first chance goes to the CAMS guys (metal working club in our region), rest will go for whatever it's worth to someone. 1000 pounds of stuff here, a 1000 pounds there, pretty soon you're not running an overloaded trailer anymore!

The new lathe is around 100 pounds. The old lathe was 700 pounds.

It is being delivered by FedEx It will a lot easier just hand cart and maybe a neighbor.
It going into a insulated build in backyard. It does does not get very cold and does need heat but does have cooling for hot summer days.

We moved into town last year, from a farm with lots of buildings where we had been for almost 34 years. It has taken us over 3 years so far because of selling/donating/junking lots of stuff. It's hard to decide what I will use, what I think I will use, what I hope to use, what has sentimental or family or historical value, etc. I sold cars, engines, VW parts, wind mill towers, wind turbines, books, lumber, and more things than I can recall.
And I'm still sorting stuff in both places and trying to get organized at the town shop and garage.

When looking for a lathe today this same lathe under different names and prices
https://www.amazon.com/CREWORKS-Machine-Drilling-Benchtop-Accessories/dp/B09NNGR89Q
So look very carefully at ads for best price . Some find a lower cost on Ebay be careful because Ebay returns are different than Amazon and Walmart. Remember to read all ads for returns. Today returns are changing including Amazon and Walmart.

Sorry to hear

The lathe I received is in very good condition.
I know at Harbor Freight about 20 years ago a saw on look as you described on show room floor .

This one looks good need used to feel real good or lap slides like South Bend did on there lathes.
It is not a $40,000 lathe witch have purchased new in pass.
It exactly what research no surprise and paid under $600.00 and chase for tool $350.00.
